HHS Seeks Feedback on Potential HIPAA Changes

Will the Department of Health and Human Services' request for feedback on potential changes to HIPAA eventually result in modifications to the regulation, including certain provisions that touch on privacy and security issues? There's a long road to travel before any changes actually might get made.

HHS says it's seeking public input on potential changes to the HIPAA rules to reduce the "regulatory burden," including ways to improve secure data sharing for patient care coordination.
